But as the number of software licensing and pricing models expands and deployment options increase—on-premises, SaaS, cloud, virtualized and embedded applications; application producers face a growing challenge, how to remain nimble while:

Managing the complexities of software licensing and software license compliance

Enabling timely electronic delivery of applications and updates

Ensuring that software entitlements are managed efficiently throughout the entire lifecycle

Effective software license management, delivery of software, updates, licenses, entitlements and apps on devices enables you to unlock revenue and reduce costs while providing the highest quality of service and customer experience.

While you may currently have a homegrown solution for software entitlement management and software delivery processes, often times homegrown and legacy systems become expensive to maintain or an obstacle to quickly adapting to changing software licensing and compliance approaches, new business models, or different markets.

Effective software license management, delivery of software, updates, licenses, entitlements and apps on devices enables you to unlock revenue and reduce costs while providing the highest quality of service and customer experience.

Unfortunately, far too many software companies assume they can build entitlement management, electronic software delivery and update solutions themselves, taking a tactical view of this strategic requirement. The result is too frequently a short-term fix that lacks appropriate scalability, security, end-to-end process functionality and the flexibility required to adapt to changing market conditions.

Flexera Software has long been the global leader in effective software entitlement management, electronic software delivery and update solutions. Today, our entitlement management, electronic software distribution and software update solutions support over 3 million accounts and manage over 9 million entitlements. The service also serves up over 20,000 downloads a week.

Leader in connected homes/buildings/utilities selects FlexNet Licensing and FlexNet Operations to minimize manual efforts, break into new markets and find new revenue streams.

Flexera Software has been responsive to our needs with their latest release of [FlexNet Operations]. We are happy to be partnered with a company that shares our vision of simplified management and control of licensing policies and processes.
